Cases against 2,806 Hindus, 341 Muslims withdrawn during Cong rule in Karnataka

Brushing aside the BJP’s charge of ‘minority appeasement’ by the Congress government in Karnataka, the State Home Ministry has said that cases filed against innocent people belonging to all communities during communal clashes would be withdrawn.

The Ministry, meanwhile, has withdrew a recent circular issued by the office of the Director-General and Inspector-General of Police (DG&IGP) to heads of all districts on dropping cases registered against “innocent minorities”, claiming that it was a “clerical error”. The circular, which had riled the BJP that said it amounted to “minority appeasement”, was recalled and the department issued a revised version instead, dropping the word “minorities” and inserted “all innocent people”.

Speaking to presspersons in Bengaluru on Saturday, Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy said the notice was issued only in the context of implementation of the Sachar Committee recommendations. The Cabinet subcommittee constituted for implementation of the committee recommendations had sought information from all police officials on cases registered against those from minority community.

Revoking cases against innocent people from minority community was among the several recommendations of the committee report, which the subcommittee headed by Minister for Health and Family Welfare K.R. Ramesh Kumar sought to implement. In this context, a note was originally sent on December 22, 2017 to all the police officials concerned, followed by a reminder on January 25, 2018, the Home Minister clarified.

Revised notice

Nonetheless, the department has now issued a revised notice, as the government is open to withdrawing cases against innocent people from all communities, not just with regard to communal clashes, but also in cases of Cauvery, Mahadayi, and farmers protests, Mr. Reddy said.

“Let the organisations concerned send us an appeal and we will consider them all,” he said, referring to self-proclaimed Hindutva outfits. However, if it was a case of murder, attempt to murder or damage to property, the cases could not be dropped, irrespective of which community the accused belonged to, he added.

The truth behind Muslim appeasement

The Home Department stated that during the last four years, cases against 3,164 people have been withdrawn. Among them 2,806 Hindus and 341 Muslims. These are not just with regard to communal clashes but also include other incidents and protests. As many as 414 cases, registered against innocent people during protests or clashes, were withdrawn between 2015 and 2017, the minister said.

Karnataka cops detain Maharashtra health minister, send back

News Network

January 17,2020

Belagavi, Jan 17: Maharashtra Minister of State for Public Health, Medical Education, FDA and Textiles Rajendra Patil-Yadravkar who had come here to participate in the martyrs day programme of Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) was detained by the police and escorted back till the state borders on Friday.

MES had organised its annual martyrs day programme at Hutatma Circle here. Its leaders had earlier been asked by the District Administration and City Police to ensure that none of the political leaders from Maharashtra participate and create law and order problems by their anti-state statements.

Patil had managed to sneak into the city through a route which was not manned by the police. He came in an auto-rickshaw to the programme venue.

Police personnel present for security took him into their custody and later escorted him till the state’s borders with Maharashtra at Kognoli on the Pune-Bengaluru national highway.

MES leaders alleged that the police personnel violated protocol while taking the incumbent minister into their custody and they also roughed him up.

All vehicles entering the city from different routes and particularly from Maharashtra were screened to confirm that political leaders from the neighbouring state do not participate in the martyrs day programme and create problems by their statements that also affect law and order along with linguistic harmony.

It was not known if Patil had landed in the city on Thursday and managed to reach the programme venue without getting noticed by using an auto-rickshaw.
